I focused on organizational leadership dynamics that engender confidence and competence from the upper management. As the special assistant to the president, I communicated that it was important that those serving as executives and for executives to embody an everyday culture that demonstrated responsibility and maturity. However, I think they were merely looking for a secretary who would schedule appointments on time and stay out of the way, rather than an assistant to the leader of the entire organization who served as an extension of that leadership.

I researched "meals u can buy on board" (note: MEALS, not SNACKS) for more then 50 airlines, created a spread sheet and drafted a letter. The response I received from Ms. Newkirk was as follows: "Hi, xxxxxxxxx, can you please clarify when you say 99.9% of airlines carry a vegan snack. United doesn’t. Delta doesn’t. I’m not aware of any that do. This is a bit different from what I had asked, which was to ID what they serve, and then see what they would have to alter to make that close option totally vegan, and persuade them to do that. That entails naming the choice, i.e. on United it would be Tapas box. That comes with a cheese spread but everything else is vegan. See what I mean? Thanks, and hope things are going well for you generally." (Note: I knew at this point, I would not be offered the position.) Minder
